wip

Morning ladies!
Another week already.  This week has flown past in a blur.I haven't gotten as much done as I would have liked as I can not use the sewing machine for awhile. I had an accident on monday morning. I fell on the brick path in our garden  while trying to get one of the little dogs to come inside.  (5am in the dark!) stupid I know but I'm always scarred the big owls or hawks will take her away If she gets left out in the dark.I hit my head, hurt my left elbow and damaged my right knee cap and leg. It is still swollen and hard to walk on but it is getting better. Luckily my husband hadn't left out the gate yet for work and he was able to get me up and into the house and cleaned all the cuts up.  My son took my sewing table and machine away so I wouldn't get tempted to use it while he was at work so I have been cutting templetes and ironing on applique off and on then hand sewing my houses.  I must say I was bad as well I got on the ebay site and bought more fq's for different boms I will just have to buy for  esthers when it starts!  I'm at my yearly limit now but I have justified a little extra as some of the things I am making this year will be gifts when done! 


I did get my second funky chicken bom block done.

 In between all of the hassel  with my leg my brother has been in and out of hospital. We are waiting to see if he goes home with hospice this week  He has cyerosous of the liver and enphazime (not spelled correctly)
so his systems are all shutting down now they have said they can't do more for him now except make comfortable so we will see  in a day or so what happens. This year will be a rough one My grandmother (95yrs old) is still in hospital in Scotland with a broken hip it is hard not being where you can get to them. We all talk once a day on the phone and haven't been able to talk now for nearly 2 months.
I have found haveing all of you out there to write to and read with has kept me sane quilting has kept my hands occupied and my mind calm.

TO ALL OF YOU LADIES OUT THERE THANK YOU. YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH  WE ACCTUALLY  COUNT ON  EACH OTHER TO BE THERE AT THE OTHER END OF THE COMPUTER UNTIL YOU HAVE A CRISIS OF HEART.

KEEP WELL AND KEEP STRONG
AND AGAIN THANK  YOU FOR BEING THERE.

  2. Hi Jennifer, I hope you are feeling better after your fall. I am so glad you're Ok! I have a very naughty cat who darts between legs so I have to be careful she doesn't trip me up when I'm carrying things about.
    Yes, sewing is a great calmer, but I do hope you'll be talking to your grandmother again soon.
